Tho Federal Interstate Commerce Commission,

This body has been engag ed for some
days at Minneapolis, investigating mat
ters connected with transportation. Judge
Cooley stated briefly that it was the plan
OF the board to go to various sections Of
the county from time to time to hear com.
plants that might be made, in order to
better get at the facts and circum.
stances OF the matters in dispute. It
had been his experience that the
railroad problem. as it is termed,
has such varying aspects in different
localities. that an understanding of it in
one part OF the United States would not
necessarily imply an understanding in
some other part. The commissioners
would consider whatever grievances or com.
plants might be presented to their notice.
The first to be taken was that OF Z. B.
Raymond of Mazeppa against the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road. for unjust dis.
elimination against Mazeppa in wheat
rates. Arguments on both sides were
heard. The transit system also received
attention. Decisions may not be made 10,

Herr Most Very Furious.

The news OF the affirmation by the 81.
preme court OF Illinois OF the decision OF
the lower court in the case of the Chicago
anarchists caused greatcxcitement among
New York socia lists and anarchists. Herr
Most was furious.
''Workingmen," says he will you peace
ably allow this to take place? Allow
the punishment of the representatives who
have identified themselves with your
cauee-these ideals OF your class? No
stone should be left unturned to assist
the condemned. The sacrifice would
strengthen the cause. The condemned men
were evangelists WHO had preached to the
workingmen. Tho cruel deed of Nov. IL
could be prevented il the anarchists so
wished. Workingmen must show their
military strength. An indignation mass
meeting must be held at once and money
raised to fight the battle of justice and the
salvation OF the martyrs" Most demands
a decision in the case OF the United States
supreme court, and says that agitation
meetings should be held all over the coun-
try until the court dare declare the
law constitutional. 1.-The question OF
their bloodshed is not settled yet. Let
every one do his duty, and it never will be
life to the soldiers. Hail the social revolu-
tiOn."

Railroad Rights to Cut Timber Defined.

The general land office at Washington,
has received q copy of an important deci-
sion rendered by Hon. Moses Hallet. United
States district judge for the district OF Col
orado, in two cases of the United States
We. the Denver & Rio Grande Railroa1 com.
pany, deciding as to the rights of said
company to cut timber from public lands
under their granting act and the gener-
al right of way act, the judge rendered
tho first judicial decision that the
land Office has heed able to obtain as to
the meaning OF the words, "From the pub
lie lands adjacent to the line of aaid road"
as contained in the acts mentioned. The
decision is:
Tho right to take timber from public
lands under eaid acts extends laterally
some distance from the right IL way, and
to such lands as may be reached by ordi.
nary transportation by wagons and not
otherwise. The timber must be used for
the place were delivered. and if carried by
the road to points distant from the place
OF taking the railroads are liable in
trespass for the value. The govern.
mcnt was bound to prove that the
timber was taken from public lands, and
having established that fact, the burden
OF proof as to where and for what purpose
the timber was used is upon the railroad
company. In the absence OF evidence to
prove that the timber was used in u place
adjacent to that from which it was taken
and for the purpose authorized by law,
the government is entitled to judgment.
The amount for which judgement was
rendered in these two cases was 500, 337.
Over million dollars are involved in
cases OF q like character now pending.

George Frisbie Hoar does not intend to
be caught mapping. The neighborhood
fight in Washington County answers as
an excuse for an investigation and the
report which he will write will give
him an opportunity to fire the North
ern heart as he was wont to do in the
good old days. Under Republican
Presidents, as every body knows, the
people of the various States always
lived together in peace and harmony.
No violence ever marred the gentle
scene. The frisky cowboy never frisked
in those days, and the mild-eyed ga
zelle of the border gamboled undis-
turbed.
While wishing him well in his new
endeavor, the Herald can not refrain
from pointing out to Mr.. Hoar that
Washington County, Tex, is stanch
